Senior Israeli officials have called on Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s fraudulent claim to the Falklands , a British Overseas Territory, after the British government announced a ban on imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s fraudulent claims to Britain’s Falkland Islands, which have belonged to the United Kingdom longer than the modern-day Argentine Republic has existed , and where over 99 percent of the almost entirely British-descended population voted to remain British in a 2013 referendum. DETAIL: On Tuesday, the Labor Party-controlled British government,…Open

TakiMag Photo by AHMAD GHARABLI / AFP via Getty Images If anyone believes that peace will be achieved by “reshaping the Middle East”—via the Trump Board of Peace project—I’ve got a couple of bridges linking Brooklyn with Manhattan that I’m willing to sell for a song. I might be going out on a limb here, but there will never be peace in the Middle East as long as Benjamin Netanyahu and his ilk are in control of the out-of-control, American-supported and -supplied Israeli government. And before…Open

The U.S. conducted a tenth night of airstrikes and Tehran kept up attacks across the region as the Iran War entered its 144th day. CENTCOM stated Tuesday that U.S. forces had struck “Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems” overnight. The IRGC said it attacked a U.S. military base and an Amazon data center in Bahrain, and claimed to have destroyed a missile defence radar system and an F-15 fighter jet in Jordan. The Kuwaiti government also reported another round of Iranian attacks aimed at its power and water infrastructure. Citing “two regional sources,” Axios reported late Monday that “Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan and other regional mediators [had]…Open

Politics J.D. Vance Infuriates the Neocons The vice president is putting Israel in its place and making all the right people mad. The neoconservative pundit Mark Levin posted on X on Thursday, “Here’s a novel idea: stop bullying our ally and cozying up to our enemy.” Megyn Kelly, the influential conservative podcaster, replied , “To which politician could he be talking? I guess we’ll just have to wonder.” Kelly was being tongue-in-cheek. There was no wondering. Levin was talking about J.D. Vance. He just didn’t want to name names. The vice president rocked Washington last Thursday—and infuriated …Open

Foreign Affairs You Can’t Blame Netanyahu for Israel’s Militarism The prime minister is, in an important sense, a man of the people. (Photo by Jim WATSON / AFP via Getty Images) Prime Minister Netanyahu has been the longest serving prime minister of Israel, having assumed the office in 1996 and served off and on for a total of almost two decades. His upcoming election looks to be a tossup, so there’s a fair chance voters will show him the door. Even if they do, analysts would be fools to write him off altogether, as they’ve tried to do many times before. And even if “Bibi,” as he is known, doesn’t find a…Open

The Iran War entered its 25th day on Tuesday as Israeli strikes hit energy and water infrastructure across Iran overnight. The strikes come less than a week after President Donald Trump told the Israelis not to repeat strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure. That followed Israeli strikes on the South Pars Gas field, which triggered costly retaliatory strikes from Iran. Iran’s Fars News said strikes on Isfahan damaged a gas administration building and a gas reduction station, along with nearby homes. In Khorramshahr, a projectile reportedly struck the area around a power plant gas line. Iranian media said a desalination facility and the adjacent meteorological office in Bushehr were also hit. Israeli Channel 12 reported at least…Open
